Why Maryland police aren’t investigating the Kavanaugh allegations
WAPO ^ | 9/28/2018 | dan morse

Posted on 09/28/2018 7:19:05 PM PDT by bitt

Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan (R) has called for a “full investigation” into allegations that Supreme Court nominee Brett M. Kavanaugh sexually assaulted Christine Blasey Ford 36 years ago, when both were teenagers.

But neither the Maryland State Police, which reports to Hogan, nor police in Montgomery County, the Washington suburb where the assault allegedly occurred, are likely to launch such a probe.

Here’s why: 1. Hogan’s spokeswoman said last week that the governor “has never used the state police to pursue investigations at his personal whim. That is a very dangerous and slippery slope.”

So while Democratic state lawmakers have asked Hogan to initiate an investigation within Maryland, he is not planning to do so. Instead, he is calling for an unspecified independent investigator, who would presumably report to federal officials.

I used Poe as he was the most famous author to reside in Maryland although he was originally from Philadelphia I believe. Mark Twain wouldn’t have made sense in this case.

Like anything in Mark Judge’s book is also fiction.

“I want to report a crime”

“Ok, when did it occur?”

“I’m not sure exactly. Some time about four decades ago”

“Where did it take place?”

“I’m not sure”

They tested me in 7th Grade to see if I was retarded but instead they had to put me in gifted and talented for high IQs.

“Is this whole new investigation a big trap that is about to be sprung on the ‘rats right before the midterms?”

I hope it is a trap, but as for when to spring it, now is no time to be screwing around with a SCOTUS Nomination. Get Kavanaugh confirmed and sworn in by the President. Then unleash the dogs of war on Fineswine and her RAT Pack.

So what is there for the FBI to investigate the vote needs to be delayed a week?

Its not even a federal crime and the FBj has NO jurisdiction to pursue anything, even if the allegation made by Ford was true.

Flake, the Weak Sisters and the Democrats know all this but they insist on insulting our intelligence and taxpayer dollars on a nothing-burger.

We’re condemning a man to limbo for something that happened 36 years ago - think about it.

If just frosts me.

Cops hearing that would laugh you out of the station.

They don’t waste time on misdemeanors and wild goose chases.

Hogan’s spokeswoman said last week...

Why would a statement be given last week and why would the statement not being published until today?

The national IQ was lowered this week and people are enraged over a teenage prank - maybe that’s all thaf really happened.

Kavanaugh convicted in the court of public opinion of something he might have done as a teen. We really have taken leave of our collective senses.

I’m guessing that the guys who came forward to say it was them dispute the Ford version of events. They recognize the party, the room, the playful time on a bed, followed by more drinking and possibly consensual sex or oral sex later. That would be more likely than the fantasy that she was ever with Kavanaugh at a party.

And a psychologist licensed to practice in the State of California, according to Palo Alto Univ.... wait, that’s been scrubbed, too.

Statute of limitations and it was a non-event, never mind she can’t remember enough details and supposed witnesses deny it.

You know, ford is and will be a pawn in this. Diane leaked this.
You know what I saw in her was a person being led around by her lawyer and Diane. She may have two masters and a PHD, but she is still a pawn.

The rats will never stop.
They destroy. That’s what they do. That’s all they do.
